Chapter 739 New Ether Foundation
On the day when Yang Ming became the king of the island, a small incident occurred.
In the waters north of Ula'ula Island, several pirates from Poni Island wanted to take the opportunity to invade, but were blocked by the great vengeful Gladion and were completely annihilated.
Yang Ming was overjoyed, thinking that it was a good sign that he had just become the king of the island and had gotten off to a good start, so he planned to reward Gladion.
When Gladion ran to collect the reward excitedly, he was stunned: Yang Ming's "reward" for him was actually a beautiful dress!
"Don't get me wrong, this skirt is for your sister. From now on, every time you do something good, I'll buy your sister something extra. How about that? I'm a king who rewards and punishes fairly, right?"
"Go to hell! You deliberately didn't invite me when choosing the King of the Island. I knew you were a stingy bastard with no good intentions. And this skirt is too short! It doesn't even cover Lillie's knees!"
"But this is the style your sister likes. I bought it only because I couldn't persuade her. I can't return it, right?" Yang Ming said in a dilemma.
"I don't care! I won't allow Lillie to wear such a short skirt! Even if I did, I can't show it to you, a stingy bastard!"
"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. I asked you to come here because I want you to take up an important position."
"What important position?" Gladion curled his lips. "Are you trying to make me work for nothing again?"
"Do you think I'm such a wicked person?" Yang Ming said sternly, "I plan to let you take charge of the Ether Foundation and become the chairman of the 'New Ether Foundation'."
Gladion's eyes widened. The Aether Foundation, controlled by his mother, Lusamine, had once been a major force in the Alola region. Now that the Aether Foundation had completely withdrawn from the region, the remaining headquarters, "Aether Paradise," and its branches, "Aether Houses," were a vast empire.
"Actually, I've been using you for free and not paying you a salary in order to train your abilities," Yang Ming said earnestly, "so that you can take over your mother's mess and become a capable person."
Now Gladion is at a loss. Could it be that this stingy island king has been treating him like a beast of burden just to train him?
After hesitating for a long time, Gladion tentatively asked, "Since you're letting me take over the Aether Foundation, how many people do you plan to give me at my disposal?"
"not a single one."
"What?!" Gladion jumped up. "You're asking me to take over my mother's territory without even giving anyone a chance? Are you kidding me?"
"That's nothing. When I first arrived in Alola, I only had four or five people under my command. You need to use your own initiative to solve these problems on your own. Consider this a test from me."
Under Yang Ming's persuasion, Gladion reluctantly accepted the position. The next day, Yang Ming, using the excuse of being Lusamine's younger brother, openly took over all of the Aether Foundation's territories and assigned Gladion to manage them, establishing the "New Aether Foundation."
The reason for this operation was that Yang Ming knew that Lusamine would come back sooner or later. In order to take over the territory that Lusamine could not take away, Yang Ming deliberately brought out the "sister and brother" identity that Lusamine had created before in order to recruit him, and swaggered over the territory of the Ether Foundation, and let Gladion, the young master of the Ether Foundation, be in charge of management.
In this case, even if Lusamine fought back, it would be difficult for her to regain the base she had previously abandoned.
Although Yang Ming did not send additional personnel to Gladion, he did provide financial support. Therefore, with Yang Ming's help, Gladion quickly established the "New Ether Foundation."
Compared to Lusamine's "Old Aether Foundation," Gladion's "New Aether Foundation" is more popular among the people of Alola. This is because, while Lusamine's Aether Foundation ostensibly protects and contains Pokémon, it actually engages in the shady Pokémon trade. In contrast, Gladion's newly established Aether Foundation is more pure and focused on Pokémon protection and research.
In addition to Gladion, Yang Ming also appointed Kahili as his personal secretary, responsible for helping him handle a series of government affairs.
Kahili and Haonuo Group have provided a lot of help to Yang Ming before, and now it is time to repay them.
Because Kahili had helped him so much during this period, Yang Ming could no longer think of anything else he could do to repay her. After much deliberation, Yang Ming decided to repay her by letting her be his secretary.
Although she was called a "secretary," she was actually responsible for managing all matters on Ula Ula Island. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was Yang Ming's right-hand man. The Haonuo Group was naturally very satisfied with this arrangement. Their original plan was to arrange a marriage between their daughter and Yang Ming. Even though the marriage hadn't been possible, being the second-in-command on Ula Ula Island was already a very generous reward.
Although Kahili herself felt a little disappointed, she also felt that Yang Ming's arrangement was appropriate and that she was not without a chance.
So the next day, Kahili dressed up carefully and decided to launch a new offensive as a personal secretary.
As the daughter of the Haonuo Group, Kahili had witnessed the affair between her father and his secretary since she was a child. Although she still felt sad for her late mother, when she thought about her current identity as a secretary, she gradually began to understand the feelings of the secretary back then.
"It's okay. Yang Ming has no family and doesn't even have a girlfriend. This is different from my father. I must make good use of my identity as a secretary to bring the two sides closer!" Kahili secretly encouraged herself.
She secretly sent people to inquire about Yang Ming's past and learned that when Yang Ming was displaced in the Johto area, he had worked together for a long time with a female gym leader named Ming Fenglu.
"I've also seen that girl named Fenglu. Although she's certainly quite cute, she's not stunningly beautiful. It's just that she has those natural 'flame bags' that few girls can compare to."
Looking at her big breasts that she once took pride in, Kahili felt a rare sense of inferiority, and finally decided to add a few more layers to make up for the gap.
After she dressed up carefully and arrived at Yang Ming's office, she saw Yang Ming running towards her with shining eyes from a distance.
"You're just in time. I still have a pile of documents to process, so I'll leave these to you!"
Then, Kahili looked at Yang Ming in astonishment as he stuffed a pile of documents into her hands.
